The short answer

Cutco Super Shears (#77) are heavy-duty kitchen shears whose blades come apart for easy cleaning and fit large or small, left or right hands. Cutco recommends them for snipping herbs, cutting twine and packaging, disjointing chicken, and outdoor and garden tasks.

What they're for

Cutco says to cut everything from delicate herbs to tough packaging. Its knife guide lists:

Taking them apart to clean

Cutco's heavy-duty blades come apart for easy cleaning, which matters after raw chicken. Open the shears fully until the blades separate, wash both halves in hot soapy water, dry them, and fit them back together. A Shears Holster keeps them handy and protects the blades.

Care and sharpening

Hand wash and dry right away, and don't use kitchen shears on bones heavier than poultry joints. Performance is guaranteed, including free sharpening, under Cutco's Forever Guarantee.
